Hey HuntTalk crew,
I just moved up to Statesville NC from Florida. If anyone is in the western half of the state, give me a shout. It looks like we have some opportunities for all sorts of critters.
Got my first turkey this year. A big ol' Osceola with 1-1/4" spurs and about a 9" beard. Hiked four miles and had to slink through an irrigation canal to make the deal.
I've started writing paid articles and blog posts for other companies, specifically those with outdoor focus. It's not a good but it is a service and certainly personal.
Would it be ok with y'all if I posted a link or two of my articles?
Welcome! gorgeous land up that way. I've only hunted in the Ocala area and now down here in South Florida. There is a BHA chapter for Florida that puts on hunts during the year.
I want a 303 double just for fun of hunting pigs. However if I was to go to Africa and could afford a double I would in a heartbeat. 450 NE or in a fit of love for Hemingway a .577 Westley Richards
if I were to live in MA again id buy a savage 220, that said where I lived on cape most of the shotgunning was with buckshot (I think)

I'm going for hogs and deer so its not an "elk" rifle but I'm sure if there were elk in Florida I'd try.
1943 Springfield M1 Garand, Criterion barrel and new walnut. 5 shot enblocs. this will be its first outing next week.
Hey crew, figured I'd give a little back story on the place I applied to down here in South Florida. There's a wild place down here know as Picayune Strand.
this WMA was recently opened back up for Muzzle loader and General Gun quotas. not sure how it is in other places but the quotas are set...
unfortunately between the pythons and the panthers there are very few hogs to deer in big C now.
if the OP is farther north like central FL, Ocala or Kissimee chain of lakes has hogs.
